Indifference
KANA-BOON Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

焼けた街跡 TVが映し出す
大きな痛みが世界を包み込む
ニュースは三日坊主
その理由 どこにある?
悲しみ トレンドにしてしまう僕らにある

弾丸飛び交う リアルがない
実際この血 流れない
実体見えない悲鳴なんだ

悲しみの雨が降りしきる夜
涙すら流せず
傷を忘れて今日も笑う

塵になって風に舞って過去になって
出来るなら痛みだって幸せだって
離れてたって分け合いたい
だけどやっぱ明日になったら
普段通りに過ごして
悲劇だって刺激だって
情けないや

悲しみの雨はまだ止まず
傘の中 冷たさ知らず
故に今日も笑う

弾丸飛び交う リアルがない
実際この血 流れない
実体見えない悲鳴なんだ

悲しみの雨が降りしきる夜




涙すら流せず
日々は流れ忘れ去る

Overall Meaning

"Indifference" by KANA-BOON is a song that talks about the numbness that people feel towards the constant barrage of tragic news that they hear every day. The song starts with the image of a burnt city that is being shown on TV, while a massive pain engulfs the world, and people's reactions to all of this seem to be indifferent. The news is only entertained for a short time, and then people move on without actually doing anything to help.


The lyrics of the song talk about the reality of the world where actual events such as gun shootings, wars, and acts of terrorism happen daily. However, people tend to ignore these real events and instead choose to live in their virtual worlds where everything is comfortable and safe. They don't want to confront the harsh truth about life, and they the problems faced by others become mere trends for them to comment and argue about. The song talks about the inability to see or comprehend the real sorrows of life, and the pain that people experience on the inside but cannot express.


Despite this, the song takes a slightly optimistic note at the end, with the hope that one day, people will come together and be willing to share the pain they feel, and the wounds of the past will be forgotten as people move on to experience true happiness.
